Scott Burrows, Resilience and Adversity Keynote Speaker

Adversity is Not a Four-Letter Word   Several years ago, the Harvard Business Review ran an article entitled “How to Bounce Back from Adversity.” It is as important now as when it was first written a decade ago. One of my favorite passages rings true to me now, more than ever: “Even for the less […]

Scott Burrows, Motivational Speaker on Resilience and Grit

In Sales, Some Things Change; Resilience Doesn’t   As a motivational speaker on resilience and grit, I know that of the many qualities a salesperson needs, resilience – and the daily grit to remain resilient – are never mentioned enough.

Why Giving Up Is the Solution Sometimes

How many times have you heard the phrases “Don’t be a quitter!” or “Never give up”? Truth is, it’s easy to tell someone to hang in there, but nobody ever truly assesses the situation or the impact it has on our lives. As Americans, we’re taught about the American Dream and how we should work […]

Are You Making These Excuses to Give Up?
